Great idea - people love maps .
For example, I have a site called CaribbeanLuxuryResort .com
It would be so cool to show a map of each island with hyperlinks to each hotel review.

The output of Google Charts

The output of Google Charts is a PNG image - so you can resize it, however it could get pixellated if you go too large

That google map thing is

That google map thing is neat, however it will not allow a map larger than 440 x 220 pixels. Using it in a header would work well.

Google Charts has a map type

Google Charts has a map type that is different from Google maps

it could be combined with the image map discussed by cmoyer

I think this is a great

I think this is a great idea. I saw a site the other on a list of the top website designs...if I can find the link again I'll post it here.

It wasn't a map though, it was an overhead view of a new apartment complex or maybe it was a hotel resort. And you could click on certain areas, like the pool or the parking lot, you could find some description of it.

I would personally like to see more interactive maps for the right kind of websites (that have some geographical or even conceptual component).

This would be an interesting

This would be an interesting idea for a website. You should be able to accomplish this with an image map.

You can learn a little about image maps Here at w3schools.

You would need to use the polygon for the shape tab and you would need to specify by pixels where the outline is. Your map would not need to be exact, just a rough outline of the countries.
